✝️SOON AND VERY SOON✝️ “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

The SDJCA "Crystal Apple You Make a Difference Award" is chosen by the parents of our school. At the start of this school year, we shared that the transformation into our new culture would only happen through everyone’s participation. This award is another way for parents to be involved. This honor is an important piece in fostering a stronger, more unified Catholic family here at SDJCA. It also provides a chance to shine a light on the dedication and effort our staff puts in to making this school the best it can be. This month’s SDJCA Crystal Apple Award recipient is Mrs. Miller! Congratulations, Mrs. Miller and THANK YOU for MAKING A DIFFERENCE! We look forward to recognizing more of our amazing SDJCA staff in the coming months!
